  • the urinary bladder stores urine thereby allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled.
  • the urinary bladder is removed or when the bladder function is affected adversely, there is a need to perform surgery in order to create an alternate passage for the urine.
  • This urinary diversion in patients is created by making an outlet on the abdominal wall using small intestine or ureters brought in directly, in the form of urinary stoma.
  • the stoma is a pathway from the kidneys to the outside of patient abdomen. The stoma is then connected to a urine collecting pouch, which requires timely disposal when it is filled.
  • the urine collection pouch is kept at the level of waist and it hangs freely from the waist. Once it is filled with urine, the patient empties the pouch by opening the outlet.
  • This conventional pouch is not patient friendly, which may cause cringeworthy moments for the patient either socially or personally.
  • the pouch being a hanging bag that impacts dignified living of an individual as the hanging bags are sign of their health issues. Accumulation of urine in the bag causes bulging of the pouch and gives discomfort to the patient carrying a pouch filled with urine. Patients need to continuously monitor the bag or pouch for emptying and it’s not a one hand operation. Emptying cycles are more frequent as pouch can hold up to 150 to 200 cc of urine.
